What teachers like you are saying about this roaring twenties introduction digital escape:
Your roaring twenties introduction digital escape room includes:
⭐ 4 core tasks with instructions and clues: Quality of Living (reading passage and vocabulary activity), Icons & influencers in women’s liberation, Prohibition-Era songs (lyrics close reading activity), and Secret quote (hint: it’s from The Great Gatsby)
⭐ Writing extensions (either analytical or personal responses)
⭐ Student Answer Sheets
⭐ A full Teacher’s Guide and Answer Key
⭐ Additional discussion & research questions
⭐ Full source list to learn more about the Roaring Twenties
This resource has wide appeal and placement in curricula, so it’s up to you how long to spend on the activity. With 9th graders in a regular class, I’d plan on 75 minutes.
I’ve included some options for having your students pre-read the articles or splitting the activity over two or three days. There is a lot of reading in this Escape Room, so it really depends on what fits your classroom.
As with any Escape Room activity, I recommend that you play through it on your own first before presenting it to your students.
Instructions for use and copyright information are included in this resource. Feel free to email me at nouvelle.ela@gmail.com if you have any questions. 🙂

Your download is a .zip file containing a .pdf of the Teacher’s Guide. All digital components are linked within. The game itself does not use Google and runs on my website — you should test this out to make sure it works with your district settings.
The extension activities (writing prompts and quiz) are editable in .PPT. Save these as a PDF before uploading them to your learning platform.
